  • Green and rural site within walking distance of beaches
  • A mile and a half from Bude town centre; Boscastle a half hour drive
  • Dogs, campfires and barbecues all allowed
Park up, admire the view and then wander down to the beach at Wildly Camping, a friendly Cornish site about a mile and a half from Bude town centre. With acres of space, peaceful vibes and a great coastal location, this site makes an excellent place to settle down, whether you're travelling as a family, solo, as a group of friends or with your dog. Surrounded by farm fields, Wildly Camping has essential amenities including luxury toilets and hot showers, two drinking water points and a recycling corner. It's an unlit site, so you'll want to pack a good quality torch with you to get around after dark. Barbecues and campfires are allowed. While it feels thoroughly wild (a vibe sustained by the site’s quiet hours at night after 10pm), this spot is within easy reach of civilisation when you need it. Pubs, shops, supermarkets and a tea room can be walked to within about half an hour, and the speedy A39 road is five minutes away by car, making it easy to zip around and see your favourite bits of the West Country.

What customers say

A peaceful spot in lovely countryside, near Bude's beaches. Guests loved the friendly host, clean facilities, and rural views. Some noted limited washing-up space, but it's great value and many'd come back.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Perfect, small camp site.
Easy to get to. Flat surface perfect for tent. It has clean toilets with toilet paper and showers with hot water. Great communication with Nick who was on the site. When we arrived he welcomed us in person -great reassurance to have, that there is someone near by if we need to. Three beaches near by. You can't go wrong for that price. Thank you!

Liked Lovely simple campsite, beautiful country setting, close to beaches and town (within walking distance, and easy by bike) but feels secluded and peaceful. Nice clean toilets and hot showers with a friendly, helpful and welcoming host. Would definitely visit again.

Cathryn N.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked A friendly, attractive site. Amazing location- within walking distance to 2 beaches and a beautiful beachside cafe (Dip and Sea). Onsite owner very friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. Very modern toilets and showers cleaned regularly and thoroughly. Level pitches. Great value.Thank goodness there was a 'quiet after 10' policy because we had a very noisy and disrespectful group across from us.

Disliked There's nowhere currently to wash up, except a cold water tap. The owner said the site is relatively new and said further facilities will come soon. He was keen to make sure campers were happy, so I think he will be installing a washing up station as soon as he can.

From the manager: Hi there

We are sad to see this review as we wish people look at what they are booking before they pay.

We do not advertise or offer any showers.

The toilets get cleaned twice a day, so turning up in the evening may result in some bad luck with how they are left by others.

The steward is on site most of the day and close by in the evening.

Thanks

Wildly

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Good flat pitches with the chance to find some shelter from the wind if needed.
Well connected by walking along the lanes to Bude, but also Northcott beach and Poughill where there’s a good pub.
Limited facilities this year (2023) but that suited us for a night, would happily return.
Small suggestion: the pitches are numbered so being assigned a number pre arrival would be handy so you can crack on in the knowledge you’re where you should be.

Local attractions

Bude is a well-liked seaside hub, with several top-quality sandy beaches, a wide range of independent shops and a number of well-regarded surf schools that will help you take your first steps on the board. Other top leisure options include golf clubs with sea views, offshore fishing charter trips and, if you really want to slow the pace down, beach hut rental, which is available by the day. For days out of town, simply set out north from the site, taking the South West Coast Path into the gorgeous Hartland Heritage Coast area (about a mile from base). Walk the 45 minutes across the cliff tops to Sandymouth Bay, or pack a picnic and press on to Duckpool beach (an hour and 20 minutes on foot), a remote mix of sand and shingle that's bound to be even quieter. Being in such a central location opens up explores further afield as well: other north Cornwall gems like Boscastle (30 minutes) and Tintagel (40 minutes) if you want to head west, while Devon sights like Clovelly (30 minutes) and Bideford (40 minutes) lie in wait to the east and north.
